More often than not, I like share a photo and write what I experienced out there, how the weather was, how the cold wind made me feel, how the aurora was affecting me, just whatever I connect with that night and moment during taking the photo.
And more often than not, I’m arguing with myself if it is right to do or if it is wrong. Because I would like the viewers to see the photo and let it effect them in their very own way, what they look at, what they feel. Writing how it was for me might restrict that possibility. So what to do.
Well, this is what I came up with: sometimes I write a back story of the photo, sometimes I write things which have absolutely nothing to do with the moment of the photo and… here it comes… sometimes I might just post the photo with just a question or two.
Just like with this photo:
What comes to your mind seeing this photo? Does it raise a question you’d like to ask me?
Hope you are safe and well.
Hello Thomas!
This picture makes me remember autumn 1975 when my annual leave was in September, I had opportunity to take a little boat and go camping on a little island on Lake Saimaa. Days were still relatively warm but nights were a little below zero. Sitting by campfire, looking at sunset and feeling nature around was very nice. Dark at 19:00 and light again at 05:00, 9-to 10 huors of deep sleep. Simple life but enjoyed it.
One picture, waking so much memories. Thank you!
PS. I agree. Sometimes I want to read your comments. Sometimes I like to comment myself.
Hi Thomas,
For me this picture says what is nature beautiful and peaceful. I love the difference in the sky.
And it is always nice to hear the thoughts from the photographer him self behind the picture.
I am not so often on FB but always love it to see your work. Hope all is well with you and your family.
Greetings Marjo
Hi Marjo, so nice you stopped by here! I’m a bit less on FB and IG myself, concentrating more on the blog. I agree, nature has so much beauty and we don’t have to go far. All is well here, hope it’s the same for you and your loved ones. Greetings back from Finland!
Hi Juha, thanks for your thoughts and taking us along back to autumn 1975. Lake Saimaa is such a beautiful area. Being connected to nature by the campfire, it is simple as you say but it is so fulfilling! Have a nice Sunday 🙂
